I'm skeptical this is a "real" concept. There is one, low-quality source. We already have articles on multicast and Broadcasting (networking). This article claims "many-to-many" is "one of three major Internet computing paradigms", but this appears to be a false claim made up by a non-notable consultant. cagliost (talk) 10:30, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, this is a real concept and there are many sources on the subject,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] but the article is awful. Wikipedia itself is an example of this concept!

  • If this is kept it should be moved, as "many-to-many" can qualify lots of things apart from communication between computers. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:20, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep sources exist above, and the poor state is tempting to WP:TNT, but it doesn't qualify for deletion per WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Widefox; talk 23:38, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete primarily a TNT delete. Many-to-many (data model) is a separate (and notable) concept, but what we have here is just original research. The sources above are about network protocols and bear almost no resemblance to the current article. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 03:39, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yeah, that's enough to avoid a TNT delete. Not sure this is primary over the data model, but that's a follow-up discussion. User:力 (powera, π, ν) 03:45, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, I've revised the article and added sources. SailingInABathTub (talk) 02:00, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep With the editing work of SailingInABathTub on clarifying the topic and adding references, this is now a well-referenced stub on many-to-many as a mode of social interaction, rather than of network protocols or database schema. I think it shows potential as an article, or at least a possible merge into an associated sociology article on the subject. In either case, verifiability has been established, and the topic seems likely notable, hence deletion is not warranted. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 03:41, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
